ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Chairman Malik Amjad Zubair Tiwana has decided to retire prematurely from office and given a two-week notice to relieve his change.
Local publication, citing Amjad Zubair Tiwana, said the chairman FBR sought retirement with effect from August 15th. Tiwana, an Inland Revenue Service (IRS) officer in grade 21, was going to retire from service in February 2025.
He sought an early retirement after he could not reconcile with the Prime Minister’s Office over many issues including the reforms in FBR.
According to the sources, Tiwana has conveyed his decision about early retirement verbally to the Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and the PM’s close aide in the Establishment Division Ahad Cheema.
The local publication reported that Amjad Zubir Tiwana had been contemplating premature retirement even before the budget because of constant pressure and meddling from the Prime Minister’s Office. However, he withheld the decision due to the budget exercise and the talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Tiwana has now written a retirement request to the PM Office and Finance Minister. “We will always respect requests coming from all quarters in terms of early retirements. These need to be properly discussed ahead of final decisions,” Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb replied upon a question regarding a request made by the chairman FBR.
